We honor your privacy.
Your privacy is important to us and Williams Auto Parts Inc. (WAP) is committed to protecting it. We collect certain types of information about visitors to our website, and here is an explanations about the types of information we gather and what we do with it.
Information Collected
WAP collects identifying information from users: personal data (such as names and e-mail addresses); and aggregated data (such as information regarding how many users visit our website each day).
Personal Data
Personal data is collected when users voluntarily provide such information to our website, for example in requesting a parts quote.
Aggregated Information
Aggregated information, such as which pages users access or visit and information volunteered by users, such as survey information and/or quote requests, is collected through various methods. For example, williamsautopartsinc.com collects IP addresses. An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever one surfs the Internet. Web servers, automatically identify your computer by its IP address, and when you request a page from williamsautopartsinc.com, our server logs your IP address. WAP does not link IP addresses to any personal identifiable data, so although your session will be logged, you will remain anonymous to us.
Use of Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of information that is sent to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not damage your computer and they cannot be used to discover the identity of a user. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie. This enables you to decide if you want to accept it or not and whether you are required to accept the cookie to view certain content. WAP may use cookies to "persist" a user session — that is, to maintain connection with a user as he or she moves through an application or series of web pages. The purpose of cookies in this context is to remember user inputs. For example, a "shopping cart" records purchases up until the user reaches checkout.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies. If you'd prefer, you can set yours to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. However, it is possible that some future parts of our website(s), such as the member-only areas and shopping, contest and game areas, will not function properly if you do so.

Such transactions may include: administering a service, such as email, search, advertising sales, ecommerce; completing an order; shipping a product; replying to support requests; or contacting you regardig a quote and/or order.
We do not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent that is necessary to administer the services we offer our Clients and End-Users or to comply in responding to subpoenas, court orders or other legal proceedings.
